We only ask for your location when you tap the button, and your exact position stays in this browser. For the forecast, your browser sends a position rounded to about 1 km to WanderRank's server, which asks MET Norway, the Norwegian weather service. MET Norway doesn't see your IP address. The server keeps forecasts briefly, by rounded position only, so it doesn't ask twice. To stop abuse, it also counts new forecast lookups from each IP address over 10 minutes. That count stays in the server's memory only and doesn't include the position.
Near Samarkand , Uzbekistan
Closest pick From Samarkand, the closest side quest is Registan Square at Sunrise, a 20 min walk. Registan is to the Islamic world what the Colosseum is to Rome, except barely anyone knows about it. The tile work alone took generations of craftsmen. <1 mi Registan Square at Sunrise wow factor ~20 min walk · 🌅 Sunrise Spot · UzbekistanRegistan is to the Islamic world what the Colosseum is to Rome, except barely anyone knows about it. The tile work alone took generations of craftsmen. 135 mi Bukhara Old City Night Walk wow factor ~4 h drive · 🏙 Urban Exploration · UzbekistanBukhara's old city has been continuously inhabited since the 5th century BC. Walking it alone at midnight, you feel the weight of that. The Kalon Minaret was spared by Genghis Khan because it was too beautiful to destroy. 190 mi Kyzylkum Desert Yurt Overnight wow factor ~6 h drive · 🏔 Mountain Village · UzbekistanCentral Asia's desert nights are genuinely dark, with no light pollution for hundreds of kilometers. The sky is overwhelming. And the families hosting these camps are as curious about you as you are about them. 440 mi Ala Archa National Park Glacier Trek wow factor Too far to drive today · 🥾 Scenic Hike · Kyrgyzstan You can trek to an active glacier from the capital city on a day hike. The Ak-Say waterfall route is technical enough to feel like an expedition but accessible enough for fit beginners. 454 mi Song Kul Alpine Lake Yurt Stay wow factor Too far to drive today · 🏔 Mountain Village · Kyrgyzstan There is no road to civilization from Song Kul, just mountains, wild horses, and the Milky Way visible from your sleeping bag. The most remote comfortable experience in Central Asia. 568 mi Fairy Tale Canyon (Skazka) wow factor Too far to drive today · 👁 Hidden Viewpoint · Kyrgyzstan Completely overlooked by most travelers. The layered formations glow at sunset, the canyon is maze-like, and you'll almost certainly be alone there. 1,166 mi Abanotubani Sulfur Baths, Tbilisi wow factor Too far to drive today · 🎭 Cultural Experience · Georgia Soaking in a private marble sulfur bath with a glass of Georgian wine, then being scrubbed raw by an attendant (kisi scrub, $5 extra), is exactly as hedonistic as it sounds. The district is also visually stunning: balconied wooden houses on a canyon cliff above the Mtkvari River. 1,176 mi Gergeti Trinity Church Hike wow factor Too far to drive today · 👁 Hidden Viewpoint · Georgia When clouds roll through at the right moment, the church literally sits above them. It's the most-photographed scene in Georgia for a reason, but the hike is genuinely beautiful and the church interior is still functioning.
